Now come, the gentiles' Savior,
As the Virgin's child revealed,
At whom marvels all the world
That God him this birth ordained.

2. Recit. (T)

To us is come the Savior, Who hath our feeble flesh and blood Himself
now taken And taketh us as kinsmen of his blood. O treasure unexcelled,
What hast thou not for us then done? What dost thou not Yet daily for thy
people? Thy coming makes thy light Appear with richest blessing.

3. Aria (T)

Come, Jesus, come to this thy church now And fill with blessing the
new year!

Advance thy name in rank and honor, Uphold thou ev'ry wholesome
doctrine, The pulpit and the altar bless!
